Show’s Over: Madeleine McCann And Entertainment

MADELEINE McCann is missing and there are ramifications back home in Blighty.

No Portuguese restaurants have been firebombed by caring parents. Prominent Portuguese in Briton have not been targeted by lynch mobs. A swarthy doctor in Portsmouth or Gwent has not been labelled a paedo.

The grim news is that the “Maddy horror” has sparked “storyline chaos” in Coronation Street. As the Star’s front page screams: “CORRIE AXES KIDDIE SNATCH PLOT.”

The soap opera was to feature a plot in which Claire Peacock’s baby was abducted.

Claire is seen holding a picture of her baby. It’s not an E-fit. It’s a real picture. She wants her son Freddie found.

But now it will not be. Coronation Street’s producers had filmed “identical scenes” to those being played out in Portugal.

Claire and husband Ashley Peacock appeal for help. Just like Madeleine’s parents. Claire holds her child’s security blanket. Just like Madeleine’s mother. Claire hands out pictures of her child. Just like Madeleine’s mum.

So the story has been shelved.

But why? Are the producers upset that Madeleine and her parents have stolen their thunder? In soapland life mirrors art and not the other way around.

In light of that soap law, is Coronation Street concerned that viewers will copy the scenes and Britain will be overrun by baby snatchers?

Is there concern that a foaming-at-the-mouth mob will see any ginger child who looks like Freddie Peacock and instantly attack the nearest adult to him, screaming “Paedo!” and setting about them with sticks and placards?

A spokesman for the show explains: “We are aware that there are some similarities in future storylines to the events surrounding the disappearance if Madeleine McCann. We would not wish to add to the family’s anguish at this terrible time.”

There are cases of children goignmissing all the time, so why not run the story line?

If they run it in 6 monyths time there will surley be a family somewhere else in the UK in the exact same position.

While we all hear how the parents of Madeleine McCann are suffering lets stop for a moment and ask why.

This little girl has been dealt a huge injustice by her parents, who decided to put having a meal out with friends above trhe safety and well being of their children, ask your-self that as a parent would you have left your children sleeping while you go out for a meal.
What if they had woken,crying for the comfort of their parents? who decided that going out to enjoy them-selves was more important then the well- being of their children

Nothing takes priorty over the safety of your children,and if as a parent you dis-agree then you have no right to have children.

I hope and prey as do the rest of the nation that she is found safe and well,for her only crime is to have been born to such parents.

every day i check to see if there is any news on little maddie. i have babies the same age now as she was when she went missing..
For the person who wrote the artical …you have sold youself away to write to gain possition….you obviously have not got children, as i dont know one parent who has not been touched by this story and infact only wish that all those other missing children would also be helped, as there are many. evrey day i ask myself what would i do if i was in that possition…how would i cope…and to make an unwarrented artical on behalf of me and parents who you think are fed up …do us all a favour and just don’t write anything. Now if you are posing the question to a selfish single’s society whome have no care for children and couldnt care less one way or the other then you should be asking them.
Any way by the way ARTICAL PERSON who are you? if you were proud of what you had written may be you would show us who you are!!!! NO ! I THINK NOT!!
